A Good GreenYillc Idea.

MIR. NJ. l.. Donaldson, of Greenville
county, gives some statistics of value to
farmers. In GreenYille there were this
year 1900 liens recorded, the total
amount aggreating $4,000. Of this
amount he thought it safe to say that
forty per cent. was profit to the mer.
chants. Hence he argued that the farm
ers Of Greenville county might have
saved at least s37 900 this year by paying
cash for their supplies. What holds for
Greenville doubtless holds for many other
counties. Mr.. Donaldson urged the
Greenville farmers not to give liens, but
borrow money from the banks and then
buy their supplies for cash. The Green
vile banks, he said, would lend money
at seven per cent, while the merchant
would charge about forty per cent. on
goods sold on liens.
We do not hesitate to say that this is
excellent advice and the farmer should
follow it whenever it is practicable.
And vet there is more excellent way to
be adopted whenever possible, and it
should promptly be made practicable.
To 20 from lien merchant 10 bank is to
jump, perhaps advantageously, from fry
ing pan into FIRE. The better way is not
to borrow at all, for borrowing dulls the
edge of husbapdry," which should be
sharp as sickle Columbia Regis.

How volapuk Sounds.

Much as I have heard and read about
Volapuk, the new language which NJ.
Schleyer hopes to make universal, I never
heard it talked until last week, when,
among the guests at the hospitable table
,f we'll known medical man of literary
tastes, there were two guests who had
actually sat at the feet Of the inventor of
Volapuk, SO to speak, and started that
tongue under his personal direction. To
oblige the rest of US, these two visitors
one was Russian and the other cosmo-
politan-engaged in a conversation in Vol
apuk for our edificatiou. Iwould rather
not write down in black and white my
impression of what heard. One of the
guests suggested that Volapuk sounded
like double Dutch spoken by Choctaw
Indian suffering from chronic Group,
while another suggested it was more like
. Welshman trying to cough in modern
Greek; but it must not be supposed that I
lndorse their evidently exaggerated state
ments Seriously, however, I do not
think that Volapuk sounded like the uni
versal Language of the future, though I
must say that many of its words seem
taken from roots common to our own and
the German language.-London Figaro.

A Locomotive in a Day.


Some idea to the extent to which
mechanicle ingenuity and efficiency have
advanced, may be had from the following
statement: cit is NOW possible to con.
struct complete sewing machine in
minute, or sixty in one hour; reaper
every fifteen minutes, or less; 300 watchs
es day, complete in all their appoint.
ments, More Important than this even
is the fact that it is possible to construct
alocomotive q in day. From the plans
of draughtsman to the execution of
them by the workmen, every wheel, lever,
valve, and rod may be constructed from
the metal to the engine intact. Every
rivet may be driven in the boiler, every
tube in the tube sheets, and from the
smoke stack to the asbpan, locomotive
may be turned ont in working day,
completely equipped re.dy to do the
work of hundred horses" Without
such machinery and the skilled labor to
operate them, the civilized world of to-
day would be an impoasibility.-Boston

A Horse With Eyeglasses.

A horse with eyeglasses is one of the
attractions in Syracuse, N. Y. The
farmer who owns him says he recently
discovered that the animal was very near.
sighted, and an occulist to whom he took
the nag confirmed the farmers opinion.
The occulist has had pair of concave
glasses made for the nag, who now wears
them with evident pleasure to himself.
We are happy to observe that this af-
Aicted, though now benefited, animal
does not reside in Boston. Had he done
so, there would have been nothing re-.
markable about horse in spectacles.
But at present he is an unique spectacle
himself, though how long he is to remain
SO, it is difficult to say. As soon as other
horses see these goggles, they will be
wanting some too.-Boston Herald.

A Word to the Welded.

Happiness and sel6shness can never
flourish on the Same stem; one kills the
other. To be welded happily, the pro.
moters are congeniality and unsel6shness.
A good woman will endure much for her
husband, the man for his wife. A true
woman will smile, cheer and help her
husband should clouds come. Then is
the time to test her character, solve the
problem, the object of her matrimony.
Men look for women with heart, a soul !;
do not let their facial beauty be their sole
attraction rather let it be their beauty
of soul and character that inspires your
love for them. For with these there will
be no autumn, no fading their leaves
will be fresh and beautiful forever

He Told the Wrong Fellow.

There was once very important State
official in California who thought every
body knew him or ought to know him.
He was one day walking tbrough field,
when bull addressed him in an under
tone and made for him with its head
down and horns in position to raise him.
He was State official, a man of dignity
and political power and natural pomposi-
ty, but he...ran. He ran surprisingly
we'll. He ran even better than be did
for Office, and got to the fence iirst. He
clambered over out of breath and dignity,
and found the owner of the bull calmly
contemplating the operation.
"What do you mean, sir?" asked the
irate official. "What do you.mean by
having an infuriated animal like that
roaming over the fields7"
"Well, guess the bull has some right
in the field"
"Rightl Rightl Do you know who 1
amp"
The farmer shook his head.
"I, sir, am Gen. -"

Where The Day Begins.

According to the way in which this
arrangement is carried out, the first land
that the day dawns upon is Easter Is
land, about 260 miles west of the coast
of Chill, South America. That is to say
.the-2d of July breaks here within few
hours of the 1st, having broken on the
American coast to the east, and the two
days run on alongside-the End in Easter.
Island and places west, the LIST in all
places on the American Continent. We
may. therefore realize this idea-that at
7:2O o'clock any morning OF our lives in
Great Britain, the next day is commeuc-
ing on the world, and is to be found at
this little island in the Pacific Ocean,
whence, in due course it will travel
round to us. But to have thus the start
of the world is not an unmitigated advan-
tage to these islanders. Suppose one of
them sails east to America, what is the
result? BE will find they keep the day
there under a different date, and ne will
have to reckon one day in his calendar
twice over to put himself right with their
notions. On the other hand, ifan Ameri-
can crosses from east to west this wonder
full magic line where the day begins, he
will find the dates in this fresh part of
the world are one in advance of him, and
he must needs strike day out of his
calendar to keep up with the times.
This fact was curiously illustrated in the
case of Magellan, the Portuguese Captain
who sailed round the world from east
to west in 1922, and having crossed the
magic line Of "day's birth" in his wan
derings, his calendar became of course
day in arrear. The sailors we're COM
pletely ignorant of this, and finding, on
landing at home, that their Sabbath vas
falling on Monday, they accused one
another of ftampering with the reckoning.

Too Indulgent.

Many of our readers long past the
school-boy and girl age will remember
that thrilling story Of Mcguhey's old first
or second of little boy named Henry,
who one day wanted a certain white rose
he saw on bush. His nurse would not
at first let him have it, bat did so after
Henry had cried long time. 1t hap
pened to be thorny rose.
Little Henry hurt his hand 80 badly
that he cried louder than before. So,
the story sad, from that time on to his
dying day Henry had only to look at his
right hand and think of the rose when he
wanted to deny himself anything he
ought not to have; narrative that has
caused many parents to wish that their
children would sometimes get both hands
full Of thorny roses.
Here is story of more modern origin
with the same moral and even more graft
flying result Immediately following the
boys perverseness:
Among the passengers on the st. Louis
Express recently was. woman very
much oyerdressed, accompanied by a
bright-looking nurse girl, and self
willed, tyrannical boy of about three
years. The boy aroused the indignation
of the passengers by his continued shrieks
and kicks and screams, and his vicious
ness toward the patient nurse. He tore
her bonnet, scratched her hands, and
finally spat in her face without word of
remonstrance from the mother. When
the nurse manifested any frmness, the
mother would chide her sharply, and
say "Let him have it, Mary. Let him
alone"
Finally the mother composed herself
fora nap, and about the time the boy
had slapped the nurse for the fftieth
time, wasp came sailing in and flew
on the window Of the nurses seat. The
boy at once tried to catch it. The nurse
caught his hand, and said, coaxingly:
"Harry mustn't touch! Bug will bite
Harry!"
Harry screamed savagely, and began
to kick and pound the nurse. The moth
er, without opening her eyes or. lifting
her head, cried out, sharply:
"Why will you tease that child SO,
Mary2 Let him have what he wants at
once7"
"gut, ma'sm it's s." ..
sLet him hsveit, Il say"
Thus encouraged, Harry clutched at the
wasp, and caught it. The yell that fol.
lowed brought tears of joy to the passen.

"Mary!" she cried, "let him have It'll"
Mary turned in her seat and said con.

Example of Chinese Cruelty.

A sample of Chinese justice is afforded
by the case of half witted youth who, in
an attack of epilepsy, fatally injured his
father. The Chinese law DEGREES that
son who murders his father, whether lie be
sane or insane, shall suffer the lingering
death-that is, his body is sliced with
knives and the torture prolonged for
hours. A parallel atrocity was furnished
by the sentence to the same torture of O
young Chinese woman who killed her
fether-in-law while he was attempting to
assault her.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Narrow Escape from Angry Bees.
A farmer who is an expert in the culture
Of bees declares that they are the most in
teresting of creatures, and that their
'tcuteness'' is wonderful. Like all living
creatures, the bee has natural enemy; in
this case it is the moth miller, which some
times drives the swarms to desperation
and frenzy. Then it is that the wary keep
at a safe distance from the hives. This
particular bee owner once saw q peculiar
Instance of the bees hatred of black OBJ

to rearrange something belonging to the

ragged inmates flew out en- masse and at

as thought the farmers wife ran and
threw her white apron over the husbands
head, whereupon the bees did not alight
on him, but instead attacked two innocent
black hens who happened near by, and
stung them to dcath.-Boston Post

Chinese Movement Cure.

It is not generally known that we owe
tho movement cure or massage to a
Chinese book translated in 1779 by the
Jcsuits. A Swcde, named Ling, intro
duced the movement cure, which has now
grown important because anatomical
science has come to its aid. In China it
remains very much as it was, having q
semi religious sanction in the old form of
religion called Taoism and entering into
the curriculum prescribed for students at
the great Chinese medical college.-Phila-

A Very Pretty Fashion.

The Broadway milliners have inaugu-
rated very pretty fashion. 1t is to deck
their windows with natural flowers. The
rule seems to be to display only couple
of bonnets and to attract attention to
them by superb basket of cut roses or
whatever other flower happens to be the
star for the day. Nothing could be finer
than one of these windows thus arranged.
Only a woman's taste could hit upon the
idea, and it is certain to find general &c.
ceptance. Indeed T have noticed that
some other shops beside the milliners havo
commenced to adopt the practice, and l
suppose we shall soon have it carried to
the usual extreme that will rob it Of all
charm. It will be flattering tribute to
the inventor, but pity for the invention.
